Shimano has long lead the industry in front shifting precision and accuracy. The new XTR front derailleur is no exception to that pattern.
With a number of different mounting options available and easy to access adjustments along with the flexibility to run either top or bottom pull cables on any of their front derailleurs, Shimano is setting its most dedicated riders up for success. Plus, witness the awesome shifting of the new 2x10 drivetrain!
Riders have been pirating bikes for years to race with only two front chainrings, and Shimano heard it and complied. With improved shifting, reduced weight, and a cleaner look, you'll be ready to hit the trail.
